Just tell him it won’t be announced until next week so they can interview a minority to satisfy he Rooney rule. Arians is a proven QB whisperer and would take Winston to the next level. It’s the best candidate they could ask for to change the culture and get the Bucs back to winning.

After a promising start Arians totally melted down and was throwing players under the bus every single game while never admitting anything he was doing was wrong. That isn’t going to magically change with the uniforms.

Sun, 06 Jan 2019 02:28:54 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2587797#comment-6592571I’m sad that Cleveland has not contacted Bruce Arians about its HC position. He is a brilliant offensive mind who likes deep passing from a mobile QB, operating behind a stone wall of O-linemen. He would need a fiery defensive coordinator who likes to blitz and overpower the opponent’s O-line. He would be the power behind Baker’s throne.

I really don’t mind him as a commentator or analyst. Tony Romo and Booger are the two most irritating people in broadcasting.

Keim was not going to change this when Palmer retired, so BA left instead of getting into a power fight with Keim since Bidwill sees Keim as his buddy.

Sun, 06 Jan 2019 00:59:09 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2587797#comment-6592433I see the Seatrolls are still excited about barely scraping by the Cardinals again. Remember Seatrolls, every game counts, including the ones where you played poorly against teams with “such little talent.”

Arians brought up the Packers to try and become relevant.

How does the option year go beyond the term of the contract when he didn’t coach in 2018?

For players, if you are under contract for 2018 and don’t show up, 2018 becomes 2019. Thus the option year would be pushed back to 2020. How is this different for coaches?

Why are people talking about the option year when he didn’t coach out his 2018 year under contract?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Best I can tell is it might be viewed differently. Players are contracted to play for x years and the collective bargaining process has added those leverage options like contract tolling. Coaches are likely viewed to be under contract through a certain calendar year and there are no collective bargaining requiring protections for either side. Arians didn’t coach but the year passed. That left AZ with the option year (2019) which they declined leaving Arians no longer under their control of his coaching rights.

According to Ian Rapoport, since Bruce’s 2019 team option was declined and he only had a year left on his deal when he retired the Bucs are home free to hire Arians for no compensation. Big Oof.

He didn’t coach in 2018.
